1.Minting FAQ
1.1I inscribed 100 mints, why are only 25 currently being inscribed? Where are the other inscriptions?
Due to the transaction chain length limit in the Bitcoin node's Mempool. If you chose the Cheap mode for minting, an order with a large number of inscriptions (over 25) will be submitted in batches. For example, if your order is for 100 mints, the first batch of 25 will be broadcast, and the remaining 75 will be submitted for broadcasting after the first batch is on-chain.
1.2Why haven't I received the runes even though the on-chain confirmation is complete?
There are several possible reasons:
1. Your transaction was confirmed after the runes were sold out.
2. The number of confirmations in this block exceeded the number that could be minted.
3. The collection tx is not yet confirmed.
1.3Why weren't they confirmed within one block?
1. If your order mints too many mints and uses the Cheap mode, it will be submitted in batches.
2. Due to the peer-to-peer network characteristics of Bitcoin, there can be special cases affecting confirmation.
1.4Why did I only receive a part of the runes?
Because only a part of your mints were successful, while another part failed. On-chain confirmation doesn't necessarily mean the minting is valid.
2.Minting Modes
2.1What's the difference between Cheap mode and Fast mode minting?
Cheap mode:
- Advantages: More cost-effective, unbroadcast transactions can be refunded.
- Disadvantages: For orders over 25 mints, it takes at least 2 blocks to get on-chain.
- Suitable scenarios: General scenarios, patient enough for 2+ blocks to get on-chain.
- Working principle: Broadcasts the first batch immediately, then broadcasts all remaining mints at once after the first batch is confirmed.
Fast mode:
- Advantages: Simultaneous broadcasting, up to 1000 mints can get on-chain in 1 block at the fastest.
- Disadvantages: Requires multiple large UTXOs prepared in advance and cannot be refunded.
- Suitable scenarios: Sufficient UTXOs, hoping for quick on-chain during market FOMO.
- Working principle: All mints are broadcast at once.
2.2How many UTXOs need to be prepared in advance for Fast mode?
Prepare sufficient UTXOs:
- 25 runes = 1 batch = 1 UTXO
- 50 mints = 2 batches = 2 UTXOs
- 1000 mints = 40 batches = 40 UTXOs
Prepare extra UTXOs for acceleration:
- Each batch (25 mints) needs 1 extra UTXO
- For popular projects, be sure to prepare UTXOs for acceleration in advance.
3.Fees and Platform Advantages
3.1Why are your fees lower than Unisat and Luminex?
1. We use automatic collection technology.
2. Satosea has optimized the minting process.
3. Our service fee is charged linearly and dynamically.
3.2What are Satosea's advantages?
1. Supports batch minting and unlimited acceleration.
2. Lower and more reasonable service fees.
3. Doesn't require private keys, making it safer.
4. Most powerful analysis features.
4.Acceleration FAQ
4.1Under what circumstances can acceleration be used?
When the minted runes haven't completely gotten on-chain, you can use the acceleration feature.
4.2Can I use other platforms to accelerate Satosea orders?
Not supported. Please only use Satosea's self-service acceleration service.
4.3How are acceleration fees charged?
Acceleration fees are charged in two parts:
1. Network fees
2. Acceleration service fees
4.4What's the difference between cancelling all txs and refunding versus only cancelling unbroadcast txs?
Cancel all txs and refund:
- Advantage: Saves some network fees for refunds.
- Disadvantage: Won't submit any mint transactions.
Only cancel unbroadcast txs:
- Advantage: The first batch has hope to continue getting on-chain.
- Disadvantage: Requires manual ticket processing for refunds.
4.5What's the difference between accelerating all and accelerating specific batches?
Accelerating all affects all batches, while accelerating specific batches only affects those selected batches.
4.6Why does it still need 2 or more block confirmations after acceleration?
It depends on the mode used (Cheap or Fast) and the number of mints being minted.
4.7Will multiple accelerations incur additional fees?
Each acceleration only charges the incremental fee.
4.8Can I get a refund on the original network fees after I accelerate?
Original network fees cannot be refunded.
